Do You Agree With My Choice For 800cc High Profile Under Muscle Saline Implants?(photo)

JL
Jamie LevertJan 9, 2012

So surgery is a week away and I just wanted a second opinion. Ps and I agreed on 800cc HP under the muscle Saline. I really don't want upper pole fullness so should I change anything at prep (tomorrow!) OR does our plan sound good! Also does it look like I have enough tissue to get good results with saline? Thanks for any advice in advance :) 5'6 150 lbs BWD: 14

Don't be nervous about a tablespoon and a half! And as I ask my patients..."Forget the word "huge" and if I have to fudge a little...do you want to be a tiny bit bigger or a tiny bit smaller? And it is true...99% of women wish they had erred on going larger than smaller.

Thank you for your question. Yes. It is normal that they will feel swollen and firm for the first few weeks after surgery, but they will then settle. Best of luck!Dhaval M. Patel Double board certified Plastic surgeon Hoffman Estates barrington Oakbrook Chicago

The difference between the 425 cc and the 450cc implants is 1/8th of a cup size.  This will not be perceivable by you or the surgeon.  If your goal is to avoid going too big or look too heavy then I recommend you have the surgeon decide implant size at the time of surgery.  Prior...
